Add package(s) in the current zone only.
When used in the global zone, the package is
added to the global zone only and is not
propagated to any existing or yet-to-be-
created non-global zone. When used in a
non-global zone, the package(s) are added to
the non-global zone only.

This option causes package installation to
fail if, in the pkginfo file for a package,
SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES is set to true. See
pkginfo(4).

If you show the actual command you're running and the output it would probably help more.
